bet365 refuses to pay punter in Australia
12 years 9 months ago
This has created a storm in Australia in recent times and blackened bet365's name here, and quite justifably so.

Some input pls: :S
1.
When one backs on the tote, the payout is divided by the no. of winning tickets into the nett pool. Therefore, if there is only 1 winning ticket, s/he takes it all; there is no limit.
2.
When one places a bet with a bookie, the bet is pre-calculated as odds, there is a limit. Even when a bet is laid as 'tote' payout, there is a limit.
For clarity, there are 2 limits;
(i) the first is the amount laid;
(ii) the second is on their maximum payout against the tote payout (which can be considerably less).
My questions are:
what gives a bookie the right to restrict/amend/limit a payout?
is there not a limit to one's Constitutional rights herein?
should the licensing authorities not look into this unilateral rule which (on the face of it) is in conflict with one's rights?
after all, when you gamble, you do so to win or lose...all or nothing?
maybe, some legal fundi can give sme explanation?

Umlilo it all comes down to greed...they do not want to take back on the tote hence the limits, that way they limit your winnings but not your loss ...
Give everything but up!

Following heavy criticism on racing forums, Bet365, one of the world's biggest betting companies who have only been active in Australia for a short time, released a statement relating to the matter.
"Following a steward's inquiry immediately following the race, two dogs in the race in question, including the favourite, were subsequently suspended for 28 days for 'failing to pursue' and Racing Queensland are conducting an integrity inquiry into the race," the statement read.
RQ chief steward Wade Birch confirmed there is an investigation into the race, with a key element being
the dogs which "failed to pursue", which are trained by Jonathan Daniel (Finished Forcer) and Andrew Wilkinson (Octane Moment).
"Our investigations with Greyhound Racing New South Wales lead us to believe both of those greyhounds are kennelled at the registered property of Matthew Brunker," Mr Birch said.
Stewards are investigating whether Matthew Brunker and Steve Brunker are related.
Darwin-based Steve Brunker failed to return calls from The Courier-Mail yesterday.
The Northern Territory Racing Commission (which licenses Bet365 in Australia) is also conducting inquiries.
Bet365 have said they do not know when the inquiries will be completed and pending the outcome, it will be unable to comment further.
